They said they will discount the TIE Fighter and since Slave One is older then surely they want to get rid of that stock?

I believe the Slave I is doing a lot better than the TIE Fighter is, so I wouldn't be surprised if the TIE ends up retiring before the Slave I does and they're trying to get rid of stock now. Either way, everything will still have triple VIP points

Spoke to local Lego store this morning, all they could confirm is that there will be 3x VIP points on all SW sets, with the new wave looking in the region of £600 (minus BB-8 for me) then a vIP haul of £90 will do nicely!

I'm presuming if I was to put in three separate orders on Force Friday, provided they were each of £50, I would get a Scarif trooper for each one? I'm new to VIP having joined only recently so was unsure how it works!

I got an ad for Force Friday in the mail and it said that the Shoretrooper was limited to 1 per household.

Wait until each one shows processing at warehouse before placing the next order and you should be fine. Don't just place them in rapid succession.

Aside from the Scout Walker, which, yeah, is kinda lame, I think the rest look great!

the transport has a huge amount of play value for such a small ship, the Silencer is an excellent display model (and no-one complained about the lack of action features on the other First Order TIE), The Bomber seems to be liked by most anyway as does BB-8, and the Heavy Assault Walker is the spitting image of the actual vehicle based on those new photos. I was never gonna get the Star Destroyers due to space constraints but it looks good too.

The only plausible downside worth complaining about is the price, but since everyone here seems so disenchanted with these sets that they'll only buy them on discount that doesn't seem to be a problem for anyone here either...

I also like the majority of the sets according to what I've see so far. Scout Walker is average at best, but the rest of them are pretty good, with the TIE Sillemcer and the Resistance Bomber been the best sets among the bunch.

I've placed multiple orders in succession and gotten multiples of promos that they said were limited. If you place 3 £50 orders you should get 3 of the Scarif troopers.

The USA has indeed on rare occasion had triple VIP points on individual sets for certain periods, perhaps in-store-only, but it's uncommon, and AFAICT it's been a while since the last time they did it. I don't remember it ever happening with Star Wars sets.
